SUMMARY:Craft-itarianism: Community Action Through Craft
DESCRIPTION:The word craft-itarianism was coined by 2026 Center for Craft Curatorial Fellow Alyssa Velazquez to name artistic projects that generate employment\, raise awareness\, or offer therapeutic support through craft. These programs provide a space where people affected by addiction\, incarceration\, and gun violence can find solidarity while learning a skill. \nCraft-itarianism: Community Action Through Craft celebrates nonprofits and artists who believe in—and actively practice—the power of craft to support and empower individuals and communities.  \nThis exhibition was curated by 2026 Center for Craft Curatorial Fellow Alyssa Velazquez. Launched in 2017\, the Curatorial Fellowship supports emerging curators exploring new ideas about craft with mentorship\, professional development\, and a $5\,000 honorarium to realize an exhibition. \nOn view February 27\, 2026–September 27\, 2026

SUMMARY:The Odd Couple - Flat Rock Playhouse - 8/28-9/19
DESCRIPTION:Pour a drink and duck for cover — domestic bliss is about to get messy. \nMeet Felix: impeccably pressed\, emotionally distressed\, and suddenly single. Meet Oscar: charmingly rumpled\, habitually late\, and blissfully allergic to coasters. When Felix moves in with his old pal Oscar after a marital meltdown\, neatness meets nonsense\, and the sparks fly. \nAshtrays overflow\, tempers flare\, and laughter fills the living room in Neil Simon’s effervescent comedy of friendship\, forgiveness\, and the fine art of driving each other crazy.  \nThe Odd Couple is a classic cocktail of chaos and charm. Proof that opposites attract… so long as they don’t share a kitchen. \nEvent Times: 2:00 PM & 7:30 PM

SUMMARY:The Birth of Coffee - Sufra Time at Mocha Box Coffeehouse
DESCRIPTION:Long before coffee became a morning ritual\, a drive-through convenience or a global obsession\, it was a mysterious red fruit growing in the mountains of Ethiopia—and a sacred drink embraced by Sufi mystics in Yemen. \nIn **The Birth of Coffee**\, the opening experience in the **Sufra Time: An Immersive Yemeni Dining Journey** series\, you’ll travel back to coffee’s astonishing beginnings. Discover the legend of Kaldi and his dancing goats\, meet the Yemeni Sufis who used coffee to remain awake during nights of prayer\, and explore how the ancient port of Mocha became the guarded gateway through which coffee conquered the world. \nAlong the way\, you’ll discover the surprising kinship between Arabia and Appalachia—two mountainous cultures shaped by strong families\, oral storytelling\, community music and hospitality treated not merely as good manners\, but as a social obligation. Across oceans and centuries\, these traditions reveal how much seemingly distant cultures can share. \nThis is far more than a history lesson. Through dramatic storytelling\, striking imagery\, audience participation\, Arabian food and—of course—exceptional coffee\, Sufra Time transforms one of history’s greatest cultural adventures into an evening you can see\, hear\, taste and experience. \nYou may drink coffee every day. But after this unforgettable journey\, you’ll never look at your cup—or the connections between Arabia and Appalachia—the same way again.
